Cutting Replacement Tubing
Tip: Use the tubing cutter provided in the fittings kit. The cutter produces a
flat, clean cut, which is important in making a fitting.
To cut replacement tubing
1. Use the outer portion of the blade on the tubing cutter to cut the tubing to the
approximate length.
2. Insert the tubing into the hole in the tubing cutter and cut the end of the tubing
smooth and square.
3. View the stainless steel lock ring to determine how to position it on the tubing.
Lock rings have an internal taper. The wall at one end is thinner than on the
other end.
Ensure that the thin (tapered) end faces the ferrule and the thick end faces the
fitting nut.
